All About Feathers

All About the Feathers (Por las plumas) by Neto Villalobos (Costa Rica, 2013, 85 min.). All About the Feathers is a charming story of friendship, loyalty, and finding your place in the world. Chalo, a security guard, wants to get into the cockfighting game, so he buys, trains, and befriends a rooster named Rocky—but not everyone in Chalo’s life welcomes his new feathered friend. Villalobos employs expertly framed long shots to capture the character’s environment, and draws our attention to their behavioral and physical quirks.
